Protective effect of Camellia Sinensis L. leaf extract on lead acetate Induced nephrotoxicity in albino wistar rats were investigated by analyzing various biochemical parameters. Lead acetate induced kidney damage was well manifested by significant increase in renal parameters like urea, uric acid creatinine and serum electrolytes sodium, potassium,chloride, calcium, phosphorous and TBARS and d...

Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) is a popular world beverage, and propagation of tea plants chiefly depends on the formation of adventitious roots in cuttings. To better understand potential mechanisms involved in adventitious root formation, we performed transcriptome analysis of single nodal cuttings of C. sinensis treated with or without indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) using the Illumina sequencing me...

Green tea (Camellia sinensis, Cs) abundantly produces a diverse array of phenylpropanoid compounds benefiting human health. To date, the regulation of the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis in tea remains to be investigated. Here, we report a cDNA isolated from leaf tissues, which encodes a R2R3-MYB transcription factor. Amino acid sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis indicate that it is a me...

background and objective: although there are reports in the literature on the antimicrobial effects of green tea, the effect of black tea, the most common beverage in iran, on growth of bacteria, such as streptococcus pyogenes, has not been studied extensively. this study was undertaken to determine the inhibitory effect of black tea on the growth of streptococcus pyogenes in vitro and compare ...

Tea (Camellia sinensis) is widely considered to promote feelings of calming and soothing. This effect attributed L-theanine (L-?-glutamylethylamide) in tea, a non-protein amino acid mainly derived from tea leaves. As naturally occurring structural analogue glutamate, competes for the receptors with glutamate able pass blood-brain barrier exert its relaxation effect. review focuses on L-theanine...

the present study appraised the hepatoprotective activity of aqueous extract of camellia sinensis leaves and its possible mechanism of action against carbon-tetrachloride-induced liver damage. liver damage was induced by   intraperitoneal administration of equal mixture of carbon tetrachloride   and olive oil (50 % v/v, 0.5 ml/kg ) in male wistar rats (150-220g) once daily for 7 days and the ex...

Fermentation is one of the world’s oldest techniques for food preservation, nutrient enhancement, and alcohol manufacturing. During fermentation, carbohydrates such as glucose starch are converted into other molecules, acid, anaerobically through enzymatic action while generating energy microorganism or cells involved. Black tea among most popular fermented beverages; it made from dried leaves ...

1-Phenylethanol (1PE) is a major aromatic volatile in tea (Camellia sinensis) flowers, whereas it occurs in a much smaller amounts in leaves. Enzymes involved in the formation of 1PE in plants and the reason why 1PE differentially accumulates in plants is unknown. In the present study, enzymes in the last step leading from acetophenone to 1PE were isolated from tea flowers by traditional bioche...
